yes romance positive arospecs exist but we are not here to be more “palatable” to alloros than romance repulsed arospecs. respect all arospecs, even if you dont understand their experiences

[Image description: a series of nature images set in stripes to make up the romoaro pride flag. From top to bottom there is a close-up of light green leaves, a photo of scenery made up of dark green foliage and forrest, a slim stripe of a bright pink dahlia, a slim stripe of fluffy white clouds, a slim stipe of a close up on pink flower petals, tree branches over a white-grey cloudy sky, and finally the last rays of sunset over a black horizon.]

the romance favorable aromantic experience is questioning the validity of your aromanticism while also questioning the validity of your relationships while also questioning the validity of your sexuality and so on. its a snake that bites it’s own tail
Shoutout to hoeless aros, aros w mad hoes (me) and aros with undetermined amounts of hoes
Here’s your friendly reminder for the day that each aro falls somewhere on on the romance favourable/neutral/repulsed scale, and that it’s different for everyone. No aro deserves to be shamed for wanting to engage in romantic relationships despite the absence of attraction. That being said, there is also nothing wrong with never wanting to be in a romantic relationship and being repulsed by the idea. For those in the middle and those who fluctuate; that’s super awesome and valid as heck. Let me repeat: everyone is different in relation to that scale. Don’t judge others because you may not understand or relate to their unique position. Period.
Being romance favorable Aromantic has taken me down a very different path of lovequeer and lovepunk compared to most aros
As far as I’m concerned anything that gives me that type of warm hazy happiness is love
Seriously. I think it’s bc my platonic/alterous/aesthetic attraction mimics romantic attraction very well outwardly (it’s very different internally) that my concept of love growing up has been linked to taking a nap outside in the warm sunlight with my dog, the tree my parents planted for me when I was born, waking up completely safe and comfortable with my best friend, looking in the mirror and feeling in my body
That’s love to me
Feeling safe and in place
Which is honestly why I hated most relationships on TV bc I could never understand how you could love someone who your constantly upset and who doesn’t give you attention??? Is always get so annoyed. Like girl. Dump him. Genuinely did not and still do not understand the “love at first sight” or real crushes people get on strangers, bc how are you supposed to feel safe and in place with someone you don’t know???
I never understood why people would put their relationships before their friends or pets because you’ve know your friends and pets longer, they have more positive history with you, they make you feel safe and in place and your giving it up for… Some guy???? Utterly never tracked with me, because to me it would be obvious that they’d love their pets and friends more but they’d always say “I love him!!” Girl, how do you love him? You don’t know him
That’s my opinion on love
